James Craig - Ultimate Dark Sky Sydney Weekend

Climb aboard one of the world’s most beautiful historic tall ships and see Sydney Harbour as sailors once did. Join astronomer Fred Watson and friends for a magical sunset sail on James Craig, as the skyline glows and the day slips into evening.

Blending history, harbour views and fascinating storytelling, this special Dark Sky Week event offers a rare chance to sail on a fully restored 19th-century barque.

Feel the sails rise, breathe in the harbour air, relax on deck and enjoy stories of exploration and the stars that once guided ships safely across the oceans.

Your evening includes:

• A sunset sail aboard the beautiful tall ship James Craig

• Stargazing onboard (weather permitting)

• A welcome drink on arrival

• Dinner served during the voyage

• Stunning golden hour views across Sydney Harbour

• Fascinating stories linking astronomy, navigation and seafaring history

A special chance to sail, share a meal and reconnect with the stars — all on Sydney Harbour.
